Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and specifications of the SU 9X5X5.75-FT-P drive tire?
A: The SU 9X5X5.75-FT-P is a poly drive tire with an outside diameter of 9.000 inches (228.60 mm), tread width of 5.000 inches (127.00 mm), and rim diameter of 5.75 inches. The polyurethane tread has a Shore A hardness of 93 ±2, and the core is machined steel with precision fit tolerance for press-on mounting.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is this drive tire compatible with?
A: This drive tire is designed for electric lift truck drive axles across multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify that your lift truck has a drive wheel mounting compatible with 9 inch diameter, 5 inch width, and 5.75 inch rim diameter before ordering. Cross-reference your equipment documentation to confirm fitment.
Q: What is the installation process for replacing a worn drive tire?
A: This tire uses press-on mounting. Remove the worn tire from the machined steel core by pressing or heating if needed to ease removal. Clean the core thoroughly to remove debris. Press the new SU 9X5X5.75-FT-P tire onto the core using an arbor press or equivalent equipment. Ensure the tire seats evenly and fully on the core to prevent wobble or premature wear.
Q: How does the high-grade polyurethane tread perform in different warehouse conditions?
A: The Shore A 93 ±2 polyurethane formulation is engineered for electric lift truck drive applications, providing traction on dry concrete warehouse floors. For wet floor or cold storage environments, consider the SU 9X5X5.75-FT-P-EZ variant, which features a High Traction polyurethane compound designed for improved grip in those conditions.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this drive tire, and when should it be replaced?
A: Lifespan depends on load cycles, floor conditions, and maintenance. Replace the tire when tread wear exceeds 50 percent of original depth, visible cracking appears, the tire wobbles on the core, or slipping occurs under load. Inspect tires monthly for uneven wear patterns, which may indicate misalignment or mechanical issues with the drive axle.
Q: Are there any maintenance steps to extend the life of this drive tire?
A: Keep the warehouse floor clean and dry to prevent debris accumulation, which can cause uneven wear. Maintain proper lift truck alignment to avoid edge wear. Periodically check the machined steel core for damage or deformation. Rotate tires between drive and load positions if your fleet rotation procedures allow to extend overall tire life.
